The Great Flood
(2025)
|
Lakshana N Palat
|
If you enjoy genre-bending thrillers with high stakes, rising waters, and pulse-pounding suspense, The Great Flood is worth the dive.

Zootopia 2
(2025)
|
Lakshana N Palat
|
Zootopia 2 works best if you don’t overthink it -- a warm, fun watch with its heart in the right place, even if you sometimes feel like Nick, dragged along for a chase you didn’t ask for.

TRON: Ares

No amount of tech expertise can save a movie that’s taking a well-worn narrative and trying to stretch it into an engaging big screen moment.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
(2025)
|
Manjusha Radhakrishnan
|
A glossy confection that entertains in patches but never commits to its own potential. The humor is sporadic, the romance feels forced, and the toxicity of its central pair is brushed aside for the sake of a happily-ever-after.

Janhvi’s comic timing is flat; Sid fares a little better. Chemistry? Zero. They’re too busy admiring their own reflections. The writing doesn’t help.

Saiyaara
(2025)
|
Manjusha Radhakrishnan
|
Saiyaara is a glossy, well-meaning attempt at heartbreak cinema -- but it never quite breaks through. For a film about young love, it feels oddly dated and disappointingly hollow.

My Oxford Year
(2025)
|
Lakshana N Palat

The thing is, with My Oxford Year, you more or less know what you’re signing up for—a cheesy romance where the plot is predictable and the dialogue even more so. But even with those expectations, the film feels oddly half-hearted.

Corruption lurks in every corner of the film, yet the storytelling fails to capitalise on its potential. Instead of delving deeper into the complexities of this theme, the narrative feels oversimplified, as if it’s being dumbed down for the audience.
